What are some Disney moives a character does not die in?

Here are some Disney movies where the main characters do not die, although there are some exceptions depending on how you define "main character" and "die":

Classics:

* Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: Snow White is technically "dead" after she eats the poisoned apple, but she is awakened by Prince Charming's kiss.

* Pinocchio: Pinocchio is a puppet, so technically not alive in the first place. However, he does come close to death several times, and his journey is about overcoming challenges to become a "real boy."

* Fantasia: The various segments of "Fantasia" don't really have a traditional plot, so death isn't a theme.

* Dumbo: Dumbo's story is about overcoming adversity, not facing death.

* Bambi: While Bambi's mother is killed in the movie, Bambi himself survives and grows up.

* Cinderella: Cinderella's stepmother and stepsisters are cruel, but they don't actually die.

* Alice in Wonderland: Alice's adventures are fantastical, and death isn't a theme.

* Peter Pan: While the movie plays with the idea of "growing up," Peter Pan never dies.

* The Jungle Book: While Mowgli faces danger in the jungle, he ultimately escapes and returns to the human village.

* The Aristocats: The cats get lost but ultimately find their way home.

* The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh: The Hundred Acre Wood gang is all about friendship and silly adventures, not death.

* The Rescuers: The mice successfully rescue Penny from the villain.

Modern Era:

* The Little Mermaid: Ariel makes a deal with Ursula, but doesn't die.

* Beauty and the Beast: Belle and the Beast's story is about love and transformation, not death.

* Aladdin: Aladdin and Jasmine overcome obstacles and live happily ever after.

* The Lion King: While Simba's father Mufasa is killed, Simba survives and ultimately reclaims his rightful place as king.

* Pocahontas: Pocahontas' story is about love and understanding between cultures, not death.

* Mulan: Mulan takes her father's place in the army and ultimately saves China, but doesn't die.

* Hercules: While Hercules faces challenges and fights death, he ultimately survives and becomes a god.

* Toy Story: The toys are sentient but not alive in the traditional sense, so death isn't a theme.

* Monsters, Inc.: Sully and Mike are monsters, but they're not capable of dying in the way humans do.

* Finding Nemo: Marlin and Dory set out on a journey to find Nemo, but they don't die.

* The Incredibles: The Incredibles family face danger, but they all survive.

* Moana: Moana goes on a journey to save her people and restore the heart of Te Fiti, but she doesn't die.

* Frozen: Anna and Elsa's story is about family, love, and overcoming the dangers of magic, not death.

* Zootopia: Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde work together to solve a mystery, but they don't die.

* Coco: While Miguel goes on a dangerous journey to the Land of the Dead, he ultimately returns to the world of the living.

Important Note:

* Some Disney movies deal with death in a nuanced way, even if the main characters survive. This is especially true in films like "Bambi" or "The Lion King," where the death of a parent figure impacts the story heavily.

* Disney's "death" can also be symbolic: In movies like "Peter Pan," growing up is often portrayed as a form of "death" to the world of childhood.

* Different interpretations exist: Some people might consider characters like the "good guys" who die in "Frozen" or "Brave" to be main characters, even if they don't get the main focus of the story.
